A king's treasure (SasuNaru)

Locked and hidden

I had no time to lose.
I needed to tell Naruto what happened to his father..
I should.
But a part of me doesn't want to. He'll hate the sight of me forever and I'll never get to be with him. Deep down, I honestly didn't want to..

Maybe I shouldn't.

I gave myself some time to stomach what had all happened. My fists clenched hard when my mind replayed the scene of how helpless and careless I was. Before I realized, my palms were bleeding again. Dammit.

I had to suppress the guilt and despair. Now isn't the time to blame myself. I took the silver tray and knife before I advanced towards the door swiftly. I then used the sharp knife to slide between the door and the door frame. I pushed it down as hard as I can but my palms were already hurting so bad.
The lock eventually weakened to the point where I could kick the door open.

Immediately, the guards were alerted and they pointed their guns at me.
"Put your hands up now!" They demanded at the end of the hallway.
There were only two guards because the rest had assisted the king.

I could see their fear as I dashed towards them and it made them were surprise and terrified so they began shooting. I used the silver tray as a defense when I was removing the small space between us.
I threw the tray at one of their face and it smacked him hard, so only leaving the other one shooting. I dodged and rolled towards him giving him an uppercut. The fast action made my shoulder wound hurt. But he dropped his gun as a result and I scooped it up before it landed on the ground. My gun aimed towards them.

The other one that still had his weapon immediately dropped it and surrendered. I shot them both in the head, just in case. I don't want them to come back and bite me in the ass because I spared them.
No more mistakes.
No more carelessness.

I stole one of their solider uniform and made my way out of the prisoner tower.
I kept my head low and my gun close to my side. I easily managed to sneaked into the tower again and I returned to the office that I was caught in. It may look like a regular office, but it didn't fool me.
I slide one of the paintings off the the frame just as the instructed and hit the button which unlocked a secret door.

I entered the underground basement, grabbed the documents and returned to the office. I took off the uniform and shoved it under the desk.
The army wouldn't let me leave if I was dressed as a solider so the best method was to camouflage stealthily again.

Everything went accordingly to plan and I was out of the empire within minutes. I was extremely exhausted by that time but I still decided to steal some food and bread from the town for the prince and my savior, just in case.

It was already the break of dawn when I was done.
It was a long and tiring journey home. My body was beaten and weak. Not to mention my wounds were giving me a difficult time during this entire mission.
I just had to get this mission done, get my reward and the prince and I will be off to somewhere better.
I took the prince, it is my responsibility to take care of him and I will not watch him suffer with me.

I really miss him.
I hope he is doing well.

The wind was blowing hard against me, many times I felt like my body was giving up and I lost balance. But I didn't allow myself to fall. The snow was getting higher and higher from the ground and it was getting very difficult to walk.

I dusted the snow off myself when I reached the tower. I really wanted to sprint up the stairs but my worn out legs wouldn't let me.
I could only drag myself up the stairs.

"What the fuck is going on?"
I shouted. The first thing I saw when i made it up the stairs wasn't rewarding me at all. It was more of infuriating instead.

My lovely prince hands and legs were strapped up.

"What the fuck is this?" I repeated madly.

Sakura dragged me to the corner and calmed me down.
She inhaled deeply, "Remember when I sent you that message? Well, what happened was that I brought Naruto along to the nearest village from the mountains to get some food-"

"What? Why the hell did you bring him there?! You could have put his life in danger."

"Then how the HELL did you expect me to get him food when I have to keep an eye on him?!" She yelled back.
"Listen to me," she hushed down before continuing. "While we were there, Naruto overheard some morons talking about his town, and that their king was dying from a serious illness."
She exhaled softly, "It immediately overwhelmed him and he tried to escape. And he has been trying to escape and begging me to let him go ever since."

Sakura looked me in the eyes with a certain expression I couldn't explain, "That's why I sent you that message. To return soon. He was a total devastated wreck. I didn't know what to do, Sasuke." She held my hands gently.

The medic gasped when she realized there was blood on my hands and I quickly withdrew them, now wasn't the time to focus on me. "I have the documents here, give them to him." I passed her the bloody folder before I proceeded towards the prince, his face was dried up with tears and he looked weak and miserable.

"Naruto.."
I cupped his cheek.

"Don't- don't touch me!" He shifted his body away from me. "Just let me go.."
"Please, Sasuke. I have return home to see my-"

"I know." I interrupted. But how could I possibly tell him he couldn't return home to see his father now that his father is dead?

Would he hate me if he knew the truth?
Would he hate me more if I kept the truth from him?
